I'm a data geek and process nerd who loves to build people up and help them grow. For 20 years, I've been turning chaos into order at companies across all stages of growth to ensure that their teams flourish. I'm now throwing my passion for helping people into helping PhDs, PostDocs, and Mid-Career Researchers get jobs in industry. My goal is simple: to help brilliant minds thrive outside the academic world and make real impact in their new careers.

Two defining periods of my academic career were

My brief time at IIT Madras during my Master's under the aegis of JNCASR summer research fellowship for two consecutive years. I continued the work for my Master's thesis. I have cleared/ bagged several national and state-level qualifying exams and scholarships, including CSIR-UGC NET, DBT-JRF, TN SET, and GATE. Yes, I did intend to teach and research in academia before life pivoted and I landed doing what I do today!

Availing the DAAD sandwich scholarship to carry out a part of my Ph.D. work at the University of Osnabrueck, Germany. I continued my association with DAAD as a DAAD Young Ambassador, which marked the beginning of my speaking career

At present, I am happy to be an Editor with Editage, Founder at Sowmis_AWW, and Parent to a 10-year-old vivacious young girl. When I am not traveling for speaking and training engagements, I love traveling for pleasure and gathering new experiences, and exercising my "photographing muscles"
